Review in Brief: Titane (2021)

Review in Brief: Riders of Justice (2020)

Posted on March 19, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

SPACE SWEEPERS is an ambitious, vibrant, zongo Korean space opera that runs a bit long and perhaps suffers from being overstuffed with too many ideas, but you go with it because you grow to love this dysfunctional crew/family of misfits … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Impetigore (2019/20)

Posted on November 24, 2020 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Even in a year chock-full of examples of distinctively-voiced horror, the Indonesian offering IMPETIGORE stands out. It’s self-aware without being glib (someone asks “who kills students?” the answer every horror fan knows, is any antagonist in a horror film), it’s … Continue reading →
